Durham, North Carolina, United States
Jaguar XJ6 VDP X300 4.2L 1995 2 owners We are moving back to Europe and saddly I have do depart from my beloved Jaguar ! This car has only 95 000 miles since new and I am the second owner. This car has spent 99% of its life inside a garage at night. This car is really superb ansd spotless but does need a bit of attention so if you are electrically minded this is the deal for you. I give you the details below. This is the LAST of the true Jaguar. It is a VDP version. It is a NON SMOKER CAR ! Most probably nobody ever sat on the back seats (I do not have any kids nor family here and the former owner was as well an older gentleman. As it is an English automobile it has a ghost in it, not a bad ghost but a rather curious one ! Car comes with original documents and leather pouch Car comes with printed (and on CD’s) all Jaguar shop and techical manuals What I had done to this car : 1 - Complete brand new fuel line (less than 2000 miles ago) 2 - New rear brake pads (less than 1000 miles ago 4 - New serpentine and airco belts (lass than 200 miles ago) 4 - 4 x good tires installed (less than 1000 miles ago) they were not new ones but good second hand ones 5 - New water temperature sensor and thermostat 6 - New fog light bulbs, new tail light bulbs 7 – Airco has been recharged 8 – New air filter 9– I will have the oil and oil filter changed prior to sale This car runs strong and DOES NOT BURN A DROP OF OIL Very strong automatic transmission (classic or sportshiting) This car starts when you just show the key ! Very good ans strong battery Very good spare tire Car jack has never been used to my knowledge It has a superb multiple speakers stereo radio/6 CD player by Harman Kardon I also have a small jar of original color leather tint (enough to do plenty of tinting when the day will come) Comes even with original bill of sale and most maintenance bills If you want the quality, the prestige the ride and the power of a superb Jaguar at the price of an horrible Toyota, this is the car for you ! This car never had an accident not even a scratch This car has never seen snow, sleet or ice ! ! ! (North Carolinian car) There is no rust nowere. A All rubbers are good I will give you as well all the cleaning and maintenance products I have for this car ALL CHROMES ARE SUPERB ! Very nice clean interior NC Technical control/inspection perfect and good till June 2014 What the TLC the needs (I am not a mechanic nor a car electrician) There is a malicious electrical ghost/gremlin in the driver’s door and most probably in the wiring between the trunk lid right hinge and the back seat electrical fuse box. There are no lillumination lights when opening the doors, nor in the dashboard or console (but all dashboard lights and instruments are working) If you put in one of the fuse in the rear underseat fuse box all the illumination lights of the dash board are working ! I learned about this through the Jaguar Owner’s forums. It seems tham most Jag owners do know about this ghost. Most probably due to a microswitch in the driver’s door. I do have a ton of new relays, microswitches and other costly spare parts coming with this car (see below). The driver’s door lock is hard to operat with the key (again door panel needs to be removed to access to the cable controlling the key to something – again according to knowlegeable guys on the Jaguar Forums All power stuff is working I do believe that the right side catalytic converter on the exhaust has to be cleaned one of these days (a Jag specialist, whom I respect, in Connecticut, told me that the cat converter on that model Jaguar should not be replaced and should be cleaned as they are extremely well built and solid). The car comes with many brand new spare parts which I boughtfor over $1000.00 from another local Jag owner – restorer leaving for Europe as wel,l last year) Brand new head gasket New brake pads New oil filters Several new relays and micro switches New timing chains Second hand coils ( 5 or 6 of them) A complete under the hood electrical harness Some computer units – for lights, CPU, transmission or other things (I am not knowledgeable of) Some front end links or parts And a bunch of other stuff. There are quite a lot This car will drive any distance and is ready for another 100 000 miles minimum ! IMPORTANT: If you want to drive the car away you will need your own plates and insurance as I have to surrender plates and insurance upon sale. Delivery has to be done on a week day during office hours as the title of the car has to be filled and surrendered to new owner in front of a public notary Do not hesitate to contact me if you have questions Please only bid if you can pay for the car, I have had enough bummers and scammers so far. Thank you |

Jaguar Land Rover data leak reveals employee records, upcoming layoffs
Fri, May 25 2018A massive data leak has revealed the personnel files of hundreds of employees at Jaguar Land Rover's factory in Solihull, England. The documents reveal details such as sick days used, disciplinary issues and — most notably — red lines indicating potential firings in the weeks or months ahead. In total, the personal records of more than 600 workers were released. JLR is scrambling to contain the crisis. The breach was first reported by the Huffington Post UK, with the automaker initially claiming the story was "fake news." That publicity gaff certainly didn't help matters, especially for employees staring at their name with a red line slashed across it. Last month, the British automaker had said it would be eliminating roughly 1,000 employees at factories in the U.K. The Solihull plant, which produces models like the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Jaguar F-Pace and Jaguar XE, was among those mentioned in the statement. JLR, which is owned by the Indian conglomerate Tata Motors, is facing a steep drop in sales, particularly in its home market. The main culprits include a huge slump in sales of diesel-powered vehicles - a vital part of JLR's business in the U.K. and throughout Europe - along with fears about how the upcoming "Brexit" will affect business operations. In the HuffPost UK story, one worker called the situation "disgusting" and "embarrassing," adding that people at the factory now know whether they, or their colleagues, are soon due to lose their job.

Weekly Recap: The divergent paths of Tesla and Fisker
Sat, 02 Aug 2014
There's no doubt that Tesla is downshifting while Fisker has been grinding its gears. But it wasn't always that way.
In the wake of Tesla's recent success, it's easy to forget that there were once two California electric carmakers with bright futures.
How Jaguar optimized the Ingenium gas engine for the F-Type
Fri, Apr 21 2017At the 2017 New York Auto Show, Jaguar showed off the new entry-level F-Type, packing a 2.0-liter, turbocharged, gasoline-fueled inline-four that produces 296 horsepower, which is built in-house in the UK. It's the debut of this branch of the Ingenium engine series, and it's also the top of the Ingenium gas range; most JLR vehicles will offer a less powerful 247-hp version. We caught up with Jaguar's engineers to figure out exactly how this high-output Ingenium engine differs, and what Jaguar had to do to fit it in the F-Type's engine bay. While all Ingenium 2.0-liter gas fours share major architecture – the aluminum block and heads, as well as the bore and stroke – there are some internal differences. The most important are the low-compression pistons, which allow for more boost without detonation. The new compression ratio is 9.5:1, compared to the 10.5:1 ratio in the 247-hp spec engines. To make the most out of more boost, you need new plumbing and a way to get more fuel into the combustion chamber. So Jaguar fitted a larger twin-scroll turbocharger that's unique to this application. It features low-friction ceramic ball bearings – Jaguar says this improves transient response. There are also new fuel injectors and a fuel pump to accommodate the increased demand for gas in the high-output engine. On the back end, there's a unique exhaust system with active flaps to give it a louder bark when called for. Of course, some new hardware and more boost means the various electronic systems that control the engine needed changes. For one, Jaguar's changed the cam timing and valve lift mapping, as well as the ignition timing. The throttle mapping and transmission calibration have also been optimized for the new engine.

As far as the driver's concerned, the biggest change from the 247-hp engine to the 296-hp one – other than increased scoot – will be where the power peak is. The 296-hp engine makes peak power at a higher point in the rev range, which should reward drivers who generously prod the throttle and hold gears in manual mode. Remember, F-Types equipped with this engine will only be available with an automatic transmission. You should also remember that it's an excellent gearbox overall, with rapid, smooth shift characteristics, if the other 8-speed Jaguars are anything to go by.
